THE CHARGES DENIED.
Captain Harkness, of the Abandoned
Schooner Parker N. Hooper, SAYS lie
Did Everything in His Power to Save
the Vessel.
RocKLAND, June 20.

RoCKLAND, June 20.
Capt. John Hardness of Rockport, of the
abandoned schooner Parker NJ. Hooper,
which was lost last March on the trip from
Havana to Boston, has arrived home and is
prepared to refute the charges made by the
mate of the vessel, which caused so much ex-
citement several weeks ago. Capt. Hardness
says that on the l4th day out he encountered
a series of gales and hurricanes, which, in
the beginning, disabled the vessel badly,
carrying away part of the sails and
rigging and starting the rudder head.
Each succeeding gale weakened the vessel
in some part. The rudder unshipped and
WAS lost, the large boat was swept away, both
the bulwarks were stove in, the rails carried
away, and the pumps we've worked every halt
hour. Every effort to work the jury rigging
and rudder failed to save the vessel from des-
truction. After every possible effort
to save her had been made and
having been seventeen daNs without rudder,
and being satisfied that she could not
survive another gale, Capt. Harkness signal
ed the Italian bark. America and asked to be
taken off. SO rough was the wind and sea
at that time that the crew of the bark were
unwilling to make trial, but at the earnest
persuasion of their mate, Peter Pallio, who
took the boat with them, two trips were made
to the Hooper, Capt. Hardness and wife being
the last to leave. The Hooper was abandon.
